AWAKENING/Art & Culture is a 15 year old 501(c)3 non-profit organization that develops, integrates and promotes initiatives in the arts, education, filmmaking and sustainability. We seek to build human & social capital by fostering the artistic, civic, ecological and economic well-being of people and community in Greater Orlando, Florida.
To this end, we produce OLAFEST, the Orlando Latin-American Film & Heritage Festival. We also produce OLA21 (the Orlando Local Agenda 21) sustainability gathering. Part celebration and part education, OLA 21 is AWAKENING/ art & culture's contribution to developing a sustainable community in Greater Orlando. Brought to you by eminent scholars, academics, artists, environmental leaders and films; it is the expression of qualities, relationships and conditions for a different future. We also produce several other events throughout the year
